About this map

The Big Sioux River meanders through this landscape in Moody County, defining the agricultural and historical character of the region. The town of Trent sits near the river's edge, surrounded by local landmarks including the Trent Sunnyside Cem and the Riverview Cem. Further south, the Trent Mounds offer a rare glimpse into the ancient indigenous history of the plains, while the small settlement of Egan anchors the northern reaches of the quadrangle.

This modern survey also captures the grid of rural life, from the crossing at Sioux Falls Junction to the singular marker of Lone Tree. The transition from the river bottom to the elevated heights of the Coteau des Prairies is evident in the drainage patterns of Bachelor Cr and Squaw Cr. For those tracing local roots, several burial grounds are documented, including Hillside Cem, which overlooks the northern river valley.
